One perched on the desk, and the other seated in the chair.

Isaac remained quiet for a while before confessing, “When I was young, I was disciplined, my thoughts never straying towards relationships...

I remember clearly, it was during my parents’ funeral. I was pushed into water... I couldn't swim. For the first time, I came face to face with death, but fortune favored me and I was rescued. This item was left by the person who saved my life, hence it holds importance for me. It has no connection to romantic relationships."

As Isaac said those words, he appeared deep in thought.

No amount of time could erase the memory of that day.

It seemed Camila had sensed something.

She stared at the box in her hand, anticipation gleaming in her eyes.

Slowly, she lifted the lid and gasped in surprise!

Wasn't this the jade pendant of Maitreya Buddha she had lost?

A keepsake from her grandfather, she had donned it since she was a year old.

So she recognized it instantly.

She was certain this pendant was hers.

It wasn't completely green, but a frosty green hue. The sculpting of Maitreya Buddha was vivid. She lifted it from the box and held it in her hands.

Unaware of her actions, Isaac was engulfed by his own emotions.

From that incident onward, he had developed a fear of water!

But who was he?

How could he let fear dictate him after one incident?

The only solution was to conquer his fear!

"A little girl saved you, didn't she? But she wasn't alone. If her grandfather hadn't arrived just in time, both she and that boy might have drowned in that pond."

Isaac's eyes widened in surprise at her words.
